Here's how San Antonio stacks up to America's best places to own a home

San Antonio's real estate market is hot, but a new report says Alamo City is a mediocre spot to own a home.
In conjunction with Redfin, Porch.com recently released a list of the best places to own a home in America. Porch.com surveyed U.S. homeowners on a range of topics (from safety to taxes) and gathered insight from Redfin real estate agents to determine the rankings.
San Antonio ranks No. 28 out of the 67 cities studied. The overall ranking comprises 10 category ratings of which San Antonio has three positive showings. We're No. 5 for both economic opportunity and resident satisfaction. However, San Antonio ranks a dismal 66th for healthy living and 56th for walkability.
Among Texas cities, Dallas fares best (No. 21), while Houston (No. 40) and Austin (No. 48) are the worst.
The happiest homeowners, it seems, are living it up in Denver, Colorado. Other top places to own a home are Grand Rapids, Michigan; Washington, D.C.; Virginia Beach, Virginia; and Rochester, New York.
